This new Book, "Consideration in the Final Third of Life," offers a road map for the last third of life. After a career spent on underwriting risk, and obsolescence, Klein turned that habit towards examining his own life. He read back through thirty-five years of his own datebooks. He studied the actuarial tables that predict how long people like him will live. And he began asking the questions most of us postpone until a hospital corridor forces the issue. The result is a book that follows the river of life. It helps us look back at who we were and what it cost, taking an honest measure of the time and the body remaining, facing the end without flinching, and turning at last to the interior work of forgiveness and gratitude that no one else can do for us. The book takes up the specific work that our education neglected. It offers a new lexicon for what most of us have been experiencing without a language for it. It draws on the great philosophers, scientists and the metaphysical that were largely absent from our formal education. Along the way, Considerations in Final Third of Life, takes up questions that most books in this category avoid. How long can a healthy sixty-five-year-old actually expect to live, and why do the popular numbers mislead? What happens in the final decade, and how much of that decline is negotiable? What do people report when they come back from the edge of death, and what should a skeptic make of it? Is there a God, and what does an honest person do with uncertainty? "This is not a book about slowing down. It is a book about seeing clearly." Klein writes as a fellow traveler rather than a detached expert. He is candid about the ambitions he chased at the expense of his family, the friendships he never built, and what his own life review turned up when he finally sat down to conduct it. "Whatever roads you have traveled, whatever you carry with you from the journey, this book shares in those struggles and let's you know you are not alone, not with easy reassurances, but with honest company."
